New Delhi, June 25 (IBNS) Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party has set a three-day ultimatum to Narendra Modi Government threatening to launch a nationwide protest if the BJP does not take action against Education Minister Smriti Irani similar to the move against AAP minister Jitender Singh Tomar who was arrested on charges of faking degrees.
It has also demanded the resignation of Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, who are caught in the Lalit Modi controversy.
 

"We give an ultimatum of 72 hours to the government for actionai against them. We had hoped Smriti Irani would be arrested by this morning. But that did not happen... If action is not taken against Ms Irani in the next three days, then AAP will hold demonstrations across the country," said AAP leader Ashutosh.

He also attacked the Prime Minister : "There are people holding important government posts who are under the scanner, and yet he is silent,..."His silence is making him Manmohan Singh part 2."

Ashutosh said his party saw PM Modi as a "helpless leader controlled by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh".
 
On Wednesday, a Delhi court accepted a complaint that  Irani misrepresented her educational qualifications. The court has set its next hearing for August 28.

The case against the minister has been filed by a freelance writer Ahmer Khan who alleges that Irani has made contradictory claims about her college education in documents filed in different years with the Election Commission.
